NAUMACHIA CAESARIS

an artificial pond constructed by Julius Caesar
in MINORE CODETA (q.v.) in the campus Martius for the sham naval
conflicts that were part of the celebration of his fourfold triumph in
46 B.C. (Suet. Caes. 39; Cass. Dio xliii. 23; App. BC ii. 102). This
basin was filled up in 43 B.C. in consequence of an epidemic in the city,
and has left no trace (Suet. Caes. 44; Cass. Dio xlv. 17).
